Vice President Fudd

Suspected Taliban rebels abducted two Afghan intelligence agents in a western province and killed them, dumping their nearly decapitated bodies in the desert. The men were kidnapped while riding motorbikes in the countryside and their bodies were discovered a day later. The pair worked as intelligence agents for the province's security forces, gathering information on the Taliban and other militant groups, he said. No word on whether Vice President Dick Cheney, "Scooter" Libby or Karl Rove were involved in leaking their identity. A source close to Cheney said, "We only out the wives of critics of our policies and only if they are Americans working on preventing Iran from getting nuclear weapons."

Back in planet Earth, while Cheney is quite loose lipped about sharing classified information about the National Intelligence Estimate or CIA non-official cover agent to reporters he is less forthcoming about explaining how he shot a 78 year old man in the face and chest while quail hunting. Since 1969 the right-wing Kennedy haters have kept alive the Chappaquiddick story. After crashing his car and causing the death of Mary Jo Kopechne, Ted Kennedy left the scene of the accident, didn't speak to police for 10 hours and had an expired drivers license that magically got unexpired. Cheney shotguns a guy in the face, without the proper hunting license (which gets fixed right after that), leaves the scene of the shooting accident and doesn't talk to police for 14 hours. Anyone see similarities? Anyone want to suggest Cheney was drunk? Anyone want an explanation from Cheney? You should since you paid for his weekend hunting trip.
